一、一道高考非謂語動詞試題的分析和啟發(fā)
2007年高考英語山東卷單項選擇第33題:
The country has already sent up three unmanned spacecraft, the most recent ____at the end of last March.
A.has been launched B.having been launched C.being launched D.to be launched
這道題的命題立意是考查非謂語動詞,選項設置采取了謂語非謂語并存以及非謂語幾種形式加以干擾的形式,意在考查同學們非謂語知識掌握的熟練程度和準確性。這道題的考查,區(qū)分度很高。四個選項都有一定比例的同學在選,這說明同學們對非謂語動詞的掌握還不扎實。主要的問題是:
1.選擇謂語動詞還是非謂語動詞的判斷有誤
很多同學選擇A,而has been launched是現(xiàn)在完成時形式,是謂語動詞;再看語句逗號兩邊沒有任何連詞連接,說明后半句只是整個句子的一個成分,因此,選擇A就犯了句子結構判斷上的錯誤;
2.非謂語動詞形式的判斷有誤
另外三個選項中B、C是分詞的被動形式,分別表示“發(fā)射了”和“正在發(fā)射”的語義;D選項是動詞不定式的一種被動形式,表示“將要發(fā)射”。再看看題干給出的“l(fā)aunch”時間背景“at the end of last March”和主句上的時間“has already sent up”,說明是在此之前,所以正確的選擇應當是B。
從上面的分析我們不難看出,回答非謂語動詞的問題,要注意下面幾個關鍵:一是要確定是否選擇非謂語動詞,方法就是看句子中有沒有連詞,是句子還是成分;二是要找動詞的邏輯主語,這是判斷非謂語動詞形式的一個重要依據(jù);三是判斷是主動形式還是被動的形式,主要是看動詞和邏輯主語之間是構成了主謂關系(主動形式)還是動賓關系(被動形式),要特別注意所選形式的語義,如上例中“having been launched”,“being launched”分別表示的“發(fā)射了”和“正在發(fā)射”的語義;四是把時間背景捕捉準確,這樣就能確定是用“將來”、“正在”還是“完成”的對應形式。
二、選擇非謂語動詞要兼顧搭配結構和語義功能
非謂語動詞是用動詞不定式to do,還是用分詞doing或done的形式,是由搭配結構和語義功能決定的。
1.搭配結構是機械記憶問題,沒有“為什么”,正如非謂語動詞做動詞enjoy的賓語,只能用動詞的ing形式,而不能用不定式形式。
例一:——The last one ______ pays the meal.
——Agreed!
A. arrived B. arrives
C. to arrive D. arriving
非謂語動詞做定語,在所修飾名詞或代詞前有序數(shù)詞時,要搭配動詞不定式,所以本題要選擇C。
例二:The crowd cheered wildly at the sight of Liu Xiang, who was reported_______ the world record in the 110-meter hurdle race.
A. breaking B. having broken
C. to have broken D. to break
在“sb. is said/reported/believed/thought,…”等之后要搭配動詞不定式。在這里,題干的時間背景為cheered,一般過去時,而“break the world record”應當在“cheer”之前,所以要選擇不定式的完成時態(tài),以表示兩個動作的先后,答案為C。
例三:You’ll imagine what difficulty we had_____ home in the snowstorm.
A. walked B. walk
C. to walk D. walking
句子的結構里涉及這樣的用法“have difficulty (in)doing sth.”,所以要選擇D。
2.語義功能是理解問題,要根據(jù)題干語義,將備選非謂語動詞的“形”和“義”密切聯(lián)系起來。
例一: At the beginning of class, the noise of desks __ could be heard outside the classroom.
A. opened and closed
B. to be opened and closed
C. being opened and closed
D. to open and close
在這個題目中動詞“open and close”和名詞“desks”構成了動賓關系,即“open and close desks”,因此選擇非謂語動詞要用到被動形式,而前三個含有被動成分的選項又分別有“完了”“將要”和“正在”的含義,因此,能準確表達句子意思的應當是C。
例二:The children talked so loudly at dinner table that I had to struggle ______.
A. to be heard B. to have heard
C. hearing D. being heard
在這個題目中動詞“hear”和代詞“I”構成了動賓關系,即“hear me”,因此選擇非謂語動詞要用到被動形式,而第一和第四個含有被動成分的選項又分別有“將要”和“正在”的含義,因此,能準確表達句子意思“以便能被聽到”的應當是A。
例三:The children went home from the grammar school, their lessons _____ for the day.
A. finishing B. finished
C. had finished D. were finished
在這個題目中動詞“finish”和名詞“l(fā)essons”構成了動賓關系,即“finish lessons”,因此選擇非謂語動詞要用到被動形式,而第二個含有被動成分,表示“完了”,因此,是B。需要注意的是,D選項是謂語動詞,而本題中“their lessons ___ for the day”應當是個句子成分,所以不能選擇謂語動詞。
從上面的例子,我們看到,在回答非謂語動詞題目時,要緊緊抓住搭配結構和非謂語形義,才能找出正確的答案。
